So as Scott Perry is introduced this afternoon at the Madison Square Garden Training facility as the new general manager, the 53-year-old will get a first-hand look at exactly what he’s gotten himself into.

The congratulations and hellos will be followed by a lot of rehashing of the dysfunction that created the opening for him to step into the Knicks' front office.

Would Perry like to talk about his path — an interesting one — to finally move into this position? Would he like to tell the assembled reporters about his role in the Detroit Pistons’ NBA championship and the consistent runs to the Eastern Conference Finals? Maybe he’d like to talk about his father, who made his historic strides in football?

Maybe another day.

Today Perry may get to give his opinions on some of the moves spinning around the Knicks, but mostly Mills will have to explain just what has gone on in New York — and his own role in it.Mills will have to explain how the team got here with its best player — Carmelo Anthony — driving him to finally relent and provide a waiver to his no-trade contract, agreeing to let the team move him to Houston. And then they can explain how did they did it with no deal in place and now want to try to plead with Anthony to expand his waiver from the Rockets and Cavs.

Mills can talk about Hardaway Jr. and Baker, contracts that in the terms of the NBA’s massive salaries may someday seem reasonable — but how right now they tied their hands in free agency with these deals. Could they have given Hardaway a little bit less and secured Jonathon Simmons when the Spurs let him loose — just the kind of defensive-minded, athletic wing the team longs for? Also, they might not have had to pull the qualifying offer from Baker, which in turn got them to hand him their mid-level exception rather than just match — if he got an offer somewhere else.

And will someone explain exactly what happened with Kristaps Porzingis — and what they are going to do about it?

Also, if the culture is really going to change as James Dolan is quoted in the press release announcing the front office moves, will Perry be allowed to hire and fire who he wants from the basketball department that has put them in this spot?

If the culture really changes maybe the media will get to talk to Perry again someday soon. Then we can talk about how he got here.
